Ordinary Day

across the common
leaves sway
i walk across the common
children play
an ordinary day

i feel the ground beneath my feet solid
i feel the air circulate around me
across the common children play
she’s got a check blanket underneath her body
she’s got suntan lotion
feels no pain
an ordinary day
across the common

i pray

baby cries
hasn’t got the sweet he wanted
mother smiles
just an ordinary day
